Replacement and Repairs
Safety is an important aspect of all repair work on the FRONTFLEX. Therefore, the
following points and the points under ‘Safety takes priority’ must always be ob-
served in the manual.
Maintenance and repair work on the FRONTFLEX may only be carried out when the
machine is lowered to the ground or when it is fixed in the transport position. You
must apply the tractor unit brake, switch off the engine and remove the ignition
key so that the machine is secured against accidental activation.
When replacing bearings, axles and rings, the main frame must be firmly and se-
curely supported. However, we recommend that the FRONTFLEX is fixed in the trac-
tor unit's three-point linkage, with the FRONTFLEX lowered to the ground. When re-
pairing the side panels, they must be lowered and rest on the ground.
Removing the roller axles
Carry out the repair on level ground, with the FRONTFLEX coupled to a tractor unit or alter-
natively folded out while the roller rings rest on the ground. It can be helpful to have a crane,
supports and straps on hand for both removal and installation.
Remember to support the parts if necessary to prevent the machine from tipping over.
